soluble and insoluble

Soluble and insoluble substances

 

Aim: to record the dissolving rate of the different powders.

 

 

 

Hypothesis: This is a statement saying what will happen

 

some substances (chemicals) are soluble in water.

 

 

Materials: p 63

List equipment used test tube and spatula

Chemicals: Copper sulfate, Sodium chloride (salt), Copper carbonate, Sugar, chalk, sand

 

 

Method: For assistance see p 63

  1. Fill half of each test tube with water.
  2. Add a small amount (less than half of a spatula) of one substance to the first test tube.
  3. Shake the test tube up and down.
  4. As you shake the test tube, hold it up to the light. Is it cloudy, or does the light pass through it? Is the liquid coloured or colourless? Record your initial observations.
  5. All the test tube to stand in the rack for holding them evenly.
  6. Record your observations in the table below.
  7. Repeat steps 2-6 for each substance.

 

 

Results.

Mixture Initial observation Observations after 5 mins Type of mixture (solution or suspension)
Copper sulfate &   water Particles disappeared;   solution turned blue As before, clear blue Solution
Sodium chloride (salt)   & water Is white coloured mirk No dissolve shown and   white still Solution
Copper carbonate &   water Green dark mirk Very green and sunk to   bottom Solution
Sugar & water

 

Swirling around water Has dissolved suspension
Chalk & water

 

Has gone very white Has dissolved Suspension
Sand & water

 

Gone straight to the   bottom Still at bottom and no   dissolving yet Solution

 

Discussion Write your answers in full sentences

  1. What is the difference between a solution and a suspension?

Solutions don’t dissolve and suspensions do.

 

  1. List those that formed: (a) a solution  1 and 2         (b) a suspension 3 and 4

 

Solutions:

 

Suspensions:

 

 

  1. Did you think you would get different results if you used more or less water in each case? Explain your answer yes because I thought they would mostly be suspensions

 

 

 

Conclusion: My hypothesis was not supported because they were mostly all solutions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sugar solutions

in science we had to find the amount of sugar cubes that can be dissolved in different tempuratures over the bunson burner.had

here are the results.

30 had 11

40 had 8

50 had 8

60 had 19

70 had 21

80 had 18.5

90 had 11 but could have done more
